NTevertheless, in the face of Doctor Falconer's letter, be published in another weekly paper the following o b servat i ons on Colonel Klpier's contradiction to the lying insinuatiorrinseited in the Ilerchid:— I " In his observations on this notice Colonel .Napier indignantly denies that he either gave, or promised to or caused to be given, or connived at the giving of,' this money,- —a denial which , may be deemed somewhat gratuitous, seeing is no where asserted' that he did _ _ t LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN UAIiI r 9 7 ; 1836. No. 13,534, PRICE 7D. .._ " I neither wrote nor dictated the paragraph in question, but I feel bound to adopt the full and "sole responsibility for the troth of the facts which it asserts, and for their having come before the public eye. I communicated them by verbal messagt, to the Editor of the Bath Herald, and requested him to state them in his own words. My motive was not in any way to hurt the feeliogs of the gallant Colonel, but to do justice to the highly creditable conduct of 61,e other party, who, though moving in humble sphere, has earn ed h;:inself an honourable reputation by a long and faithful dis charge of i t ,;_duties, and to whom a suppression of these facts might have been serioN.:lYinjurious. f "Of the assault it. lelf I knew nothing until many weeks after its occurrence. It took placb', at a time when I was engagedve elsewhere, and I may be permitted to -1:,61, upon matters of grar moment than any disputes between Col. Yapier and my gamekeeper. The extent of my knowledge of the ... flair is this—that the latter (Newth) had commenced legal proceb,:lings against Col. Napier for having assaulted him ; that five pounds 'were tendered and paid to him to induce him to abandon the action ; ,ind that, with a feel ing; which did him credit, he disdained to poett et ,. the money, but applied it to a charitable purpose. Such are the Oct , ; they may be " contradicted," in terms " coarse"—or otherwise., according to the taste, or habits of the contradictor—but cannot be a: sirored. " Should Colonel Napier require any further proof, : 1 e will, I believe, obtain it from Mr. Cruttwell, who paid the r,,:,oney-- Mr. Savage, who received it on Newth's behalf—and the p oor of Freshford, who are burning the coals. I have the honour to be. Sir, Your very obedient servant, Clarerton, Jan. 6, 1836. P. BORTHWICK. The utter falsehood of this declaration is proved by the fol.- lowing letter from Captain Versturme to Mr.: - Mulligan, the Editor of the Bath Herald, who delivered it to Colonel Napier some days after the correspondence with Captain Versturmo had closed.

Doctor Falconer, of Bath, both deaf and dumb, were fishing in the open canal, and though their abstract right to angle there might be questionable, they had received permis sion from the farmer, who owned the land on which they stood, and they were utterly unconscious that they were committing a trespass. While thus engaged, Thomas Newth, a man of great bodily power, gamekeeper to Mr. George Vivian, of Claverton Park, ( Mr. Peter Borthwick has neither game nor gamekeeper,) seized Colonel Napier's son, shook him, and threw his fishing tackle into the canal. He did the same by Dr. Falconer's son, adding the indignity of offering to tie his hands. _ _ _ _ _ _ Lexico. On the Plan of Nappy's Latin Delectus. London : Longman, Bees, Orme, Brown, and Co.

SIR,—I, this afternoon, received, to niy extreme surprise, a note from Colonel Napier, stating I was the person who delivered to you tit paragraph in which his name is mentioned in connexion with M r ..oorthwtek and his gamekeeper, &c. &c. I beg to call to your remembtAnce, that I was the mere organ of communication between Mr. B. aotl yourself, and you wrote down what I said, as being, to the best of LIT recollection, what Mr. Borthwick wished to have in serted. Yozi ,"4st also recollect, that I particularly stated to you that in case any tZsiny arose out of it you were to look to Mr. Borthwick for JustificlZlOn, or words to that effect. I, therefore, do not think you were jusned in using my name, and drawing a controversy on me, in reterOce to a subject that I am not in any Way connected with, and was ev,'n in ignorance of, till it was com municated to me by chance some t ime -after it had taken place. I must, therefore, request you will esylain to Colonel Napier the error you have committed in coupling re:t Paine with this trairw tion. I am, Sir, It was moved by Sir KINGSTON JAAIEg, Bart., and seconded by IsA AC D'OLIER, Esq., Dank Director— That this project will be of incalculable benefit to Ireland, in asmuch as it embraces an arterial railway through the heart and wealth of England, and brings the most speculative, enterprising, and productive districts of that country into more direct connection with the consumption, productions, and industry of Ireland, the manifest tendenc , . of Which will be to increase the necessity for, and add to the importance and utility of the various projected rail ways intended to radiate from Dublin, and which will ultimately bring every , part of Ireland within twenty-four hours of the Impe rial seat of government. It was moved by 0. WILLANS, Esq. and - seconded by Joins 13.taTox, Esq., Bank Director— That in addition to Portklytillien being the most convenient port for this proposed line of cOrnmunications, it appears from the sur veys and reports, that its natural and local advantages better calcu late it than any other port on the Welsh coast for a paCket station, as it is easily attained at all hours ot tht tide, and m all weathers, and affords good anchorage atoi §hbiter for the largest class of ves sels ' • and that it is alse tilt most conveni en t p or t f or supp l y i ng (vrltat does not at prese n t exist) that great desideratum, an asylum harbour on this coast of a most dangerous part of St. George's Channel. tlie scene of many disastrous shipwrecks, involving great loss bt valuable property, and sacrifice of human life. It was moved by PERRY, Esq., and seconded by ALEX ANDER BOYLE, Esq. : That this projectsembraced such important considerations and imperial advantages, that this meeting most urgently impresses upon the Government its obvious duty and interest in giving to it the most attentive and favourable consideration, with the view that it may be fully investigated and carried into effect without fur ther delay, particularly as from the great saving it will lead to in present cost of Post-office communication between the two coun. tries, and the increased revenue which will result from the in creased facilities of intercourse it will impart, no ultimate public sacrifice will be required to carry it into effect ; but it will, on the contrary, be productive of public gain. Colonel Napier heard no more of this affair until the 31st of December, when, being at a public' ball in Bath, Mr. Mulli gan, Editor of the Bath Herald, was introduced to him on the ground that he (Mulligan) had something of interest to com municate. Accordingly he informed the Colonel that he had received a paragraph for insertion that day, which he could not refuse, but it related to the gamekeeper, was designed to wound Colonel Napier's feelin g s, was concocted by Mr. Peter Borthwick, and was delivered for insertion by Captain Ver sturme. Colonel Napier's reply was,—" My feelings cannot be hurt by any thing Mr. Peter Borthwick cloes, as he is out of the pale of gentlemen ; but I will not suffer Captain Versturme thus to meddle with my riffairs." The paragraph appeared the next ;lay in the Bath ifenad, which is a weekly paper. Now, it is to be remembered—l st, that Freshto:sl is not the wish of either Mr. Borthwick or the gamekeeper. 2nd—That it is tolerably well ascertained that the 51. paid by Dr. -.nil coner was spent at the time by Newth in a pot-house. 3d—That Colonel Napier had never by word or deed pro voked Mr. Borthwick's base hostility. 4th—That Colonel Napier had frequently and repeatedly declared that he had never given, and never would give Newth any money. On the 2d of January the following letter, which includes the offensive paragraph of the Bath Herald, appeared in the Bcith and Devizes Guardian, a weekly paper, published just one day after the Herald.

Freshford, Jan. 5, 1836. s ißf .,-Your last paper contained a paragraph con n ec tin g m y name wi th Mr. Peter Borthwick and his gamekeeper. I have al ready noticed that paragraph in the Guardian newspaper, be cause I did no. choose to let a week pass without treating it and its author, or autiZus, as he, or they, deserve to be treated for their false and malignant iiminnation but as the offensive article appeared in your paper, I have to _request that you will also insert my obser vations upon it. I have th:n to re p eat— " That if the p erson, or vered that paragraph for insertion persons, whnconcocted and de. l .' and indeed it Is quite clear that in the !Herald, mean to insinuate, T ever gave, or promised to the author does mean to do so, that give, or caused to be .given, or conniverat the giving of money to Mr. Peter Borthwick 's gamekeeper, or to .147 other person, to stay legal proceedings against myself ; or that I is aye given money at all to that gamekeeper, I hereby give them this i Nblic contradiction. And if Ido not put it in the plainest and coarsest terms the Eng lish tongue affords, it is from a sentiment of respect !or myself, un mixed with any consideration for them. But if the paragraph in question be a mere silly impertinence, I would recommenct..to those persons, or at least to some of them, to settle their own leas pro ceedings before they meddle' with mine." Such, Sir, is the contradiction which I have already given in the Guardian, and which I wish to have inserted also in your paper ; but I have in addition to observe, that since it was pub lished in the Guardian, I have obtained from Captain Versturme, the bearer of the paragraph in question, a solemn assurance that he was merely the unconscious messenger of Mr. Peter Borthwick, the author of the paragraph ; wherefore my observations apply only to Mr. Peter Borthwick, and any, to me unknown, coadjutors whom he may have had. And this much, further, I have to re mark, that were it possible for me to communicate, as between gentlemen, with Mr. Peter Borthwick, while he remains unpurged by a successful legal process, of the stain cast upon him by the Guardian newspaper; were it possible, I say, so to communicate with him, I would before this have taught him, in another mode, how far lie deviated from the line of a gentleman, when he resorted to an anonymous, malignant, and false insinuation against a man who never injured him nor, in any manner, provoked his base hos tility. However, let him now go to the House of Commons, with this addition to his honours, to give weight'to his discourses. I remain, Sir, ae• :he, COALS. POPE BROTHERS, AND CO.'S PRICE CURRENT.

Sir,—Perhaps you will have the goodness to give a place for some observations upon the following paragraph, which has appeared in the Bath Herald of this day :—" (From a Correspondent. ) In the early part of this week, coals, to the value of five pounds, were distributed by the Rev. Mr. Bythesea, to the poor of the vil lage of Freshford, being the amount that was given to Thomas Newth, gamekeeper to P. Borthwick, Esq., 111.1 3 ., of Claverton Park, to stop legal proceedings on his part for an assault committed on him by Colonel Napier in the course of last summer." Now, Sir, if the person or persons who concocted and delivered that paragraph for insertion in the Herald mean to insinuate that I ever gave, or promised to give, or caused to be given, or connived at the giving of money to Mr. Peter Borthwick's gamekeeper, or to any othe:"- person, to stay legal proceedings against myself, or that I have given ino2ey at all to that gamekeeper, I hereby give them this public contradiC.tion. And if Ido not put that contradiction in the coarsest and plainest terms which the English language affords, it is from a sentiment of respcct to myself, unmixed with any considera tion for them. But if the paragraph in questimr be a mere silly impertinence, I would recommend to those persons, at least to some of them, to settle their own legal proceedings before !be)* meddle with mine.— I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, K.

RARE AYES.—On Monday week, a few birds were observed on some larch-trees in the parish of Methuen, apparently feeding on some part of the cones of the fir. As they did not appear to be natives of this country, three of them were shot, and on inspection they were found to correspond with the description of the parrot-cross-bill given by White in his Natural History of Selbourne, who states that they are natives of Germany, principally to be found on the banks of the Rhine. The male is of a red colour on the head, breast, and back, with the wings and tail of a dark brown. The female in colour is somewhat similar to a green linnet. Both have bills indicating their relation to the parrot speeies.—Ediuburgh Journal. FlRE.—Considerable excitement prevailed on Mon day night, about seven o'clock, in Thomas-street, White chapel-road, in consequence of the policeman on duty hav ing discovered flames issuing from the house of' Mr. Mathews. He knocked at the door, and, receiving no answer, forced an entrance, when it was ascertained that the furniture in the parlours was burning at a fearful rate, and the fire had reached the first floor. Messengers were sent off to the nearest engine station, and in a few minutes two powerful , ones, with a strong body of firemen, from Well close and Prince's squares, were in attendance, and not withstanding a good supply of water was obtained near the premises, the whole of the furniture in the lower rooms of the house was entirely consumed, not the slightest portion of which is insured. Great praise is justly due to the Police cf the H division for their exertions till the a rrival of the firemen, otherwise the whole of Mr. Mathews' stock must have been destroyed. None of the fam il y were a t home a t t h e commencement of the fire, Ego that the or i g in of the accident is mere conjecture.

Captain Versturme, &c.• 1, Argyle-street, Bath, Saturday Afternoon. Sir,--4 have to express my extreme surprise at the contents of your note dated this day, which I have just received, and in reply have simply to state, that I merely delivered to Mr. Mulligan, by Mr. Borthwick's request, a message to the effect stated in the para graph you allude to, without having the least wish or intention of " meddling" with any person's affairs, and least of all with those of one with whom lam totally unacquainted. I therefore trust you will see the propriety of withdrawing the offensive expressions con tamed in the last paragraph of your note, more particularly the words "discreditable meddling," which the explanation above given must, I presume, convince you were totally uncalled for on your part, and undeserved on mine. I intend immediately writing to Mr. Mulligan, for the purpose of explaining to him how erroneous the impression is, which he appears to have given y ou of m y con nection with this business.--I am, Sir, your obedient. servant, L. Y. J. VERSTURME, Captain of Cavalry, Hanoverian Service. Colonel Napier, C. 8., &c. Freshford, Jan. 3, 1836. Sin,—Mr. Mulligan voluntarily informed me that the paragraph in question was concocted by Mr. Borthwick and others, for the express purpose of hurting my feelings, and that you were the per son who furnished him with it. for insertion. With Mr. Borth wick, until he clears his character by a successful legal process from the charges publicly made against him by the Guardian news paper, I can have no communication as between gentlemen ; but the paragraph itself insinuates a malignant falsehood to my prejudice. Such conduct may be worthy of Mr. Borthwick and Mr. —, but it is totally unworthy of an officer ; and I have therefore to inform you, that unless I am to understand by your letter this moment re ceived, that you distinctly repudiate any connection with that para graph, save that of having been the bearer of it as a messenger, and unconsciotm of its discreditable character and malignant object, I will not withdraw any part of my former letter. But if I ism to understand your letter as so repudiating any connection with the paragraph in question, I will, of course, withdraw an ex pression which will then be inapplicable, as regards your share in the transaction. The messenger will wait for an answer ; and, meanwhile, I remain ! Sir,. ypur obedient servant, WILLIAM NAPIER, Colonel. Captain Versturme, &c. ece. Bath, Sunday -C,:rening, Jan. 3, 1836. Sllt,—l take it for granted that your triesso.:er explained to you the causes which prevented my replying to tof this day by him, and have now in reply to observe, that I earm. it understand what other construction you could put on ;nine of y „,,Trday than that I simply was the organ of communication to Mr. Mul/ign.7 fT I - mn r . ed Mr. Borthwick ; and I therefore do not think Mr. M. was jt.t.th. in drawing on me a controversy in reference to a subject with which I am in no way connected, except as having been the bea:er of a message, as explained, and I thought fully in my note of yesii..r day. Previous to your's of the same (late, I had made arrangements for going to town on urgent private business, which obliges me to leave this early to-morrow morning ; and I therefore hope to re ceive from you on Tuesday next a withdrawal of the words named in my note of yesterday as being offensive to me, which, after this second explanation, I trust you will conceive I am entitled to ex pect ; and have io request the favour of your addressing me at the J. U. S. Club. I cannot, as a friend of Mr. Borthwick's, pass over in silence your observations on that gentleman with regard to the attacks made upon him by the Guardian newspaper, or draw the same prejudicial conclusions as yourself, more particularly, as to my certain knowledge proceedings are now in progress for bringing the cause to issue between him and the editor of that journal with the least possible delay. I therefore think, in common fairness, every one should suspend his judgment till the business is legally decided. I have only in conclusion to assure you that I was in total ignorance of the substance or intention of inserting the paragraph you desig nate as malignant and false, till requested by Mr. Borthwick to com municate with Mr. Mulligan thereon. I have, of course, made Mr. Borthwick acquainted with the whole of our correspondence on this subject, as being the principal party concerned.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Colonel Napier, C.B. &c. ' L. Y. J. VERSTURME. . Fresliford, Jan. 4, 1836. Sir,—ln consequence of your assurance that you " were in total ignorance of the substance or intention of inserting the paragraph designated as malignant and false, till requested by Alr. Borthwick to communicate with Mr. Mulligan," I withdraw the expression of discreditable meddling," as one inapplicable to your share in the transaction. With respect to that part of your letter which relates to Mr. Peter Borthwick, I have only to remark that I am delighted to hear you have, by telling Mr. Peter Borthwick what I said of him, made him acquainted with the thorou g h con t e mpt I have for him. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, Captain Versturme, &c.-&e. WILLIAM NAPIER. Meanwhile Dr. Falconer had published the following letter To the Editor of the Bath and Devizes Guardian. Sir,—lt is necessary for me to state to the public, that I was the person who gave the five pounds in September last to Mr. Richard Cru ttwell, for the purpose of settling the affair with Mr. Vivian's gamekeeper; and I did so on the presumption that the dispute ori ginated in the resentment of the gamekeeper's treatment of my son (who was then Colonel Napier's guest) for an assented trespass. I could not in delicacy, and laver that I did not, acquaint, nor cause Colenel Napier, or any of his family, to be previously informed o As there was some ambiguity in this disclaimer, Colonel Napier called with a friend upon Captain Versturme, who imme diately cleared it up by saying he meant it as acceding to the con dition of my letter. Stn,—ln your recent COrrespondence with Captain Versturme, which, as you must be aware, )ias been laid before me ; and in your observations, Vath Herald of the 9th inst., you have applied published in the to me language the n:S3t grossly offensive. And, not withstanding that, by terms the most,' untenable and unjustifiable, you seem to have intended the expre. - sion at once of insult, and of your predetermination to refuse redress, it is due to myself that urpose, and that I I assert their total insufficiency for the latter''P demand from you, as I now do, that satisfaction Nvhich, under such circumstances, one gentleman has a right to expec't from another. I think it right to state, that I returned to this pkee, after an ab sence of some days, late on Saturday night, and that I should have made this application early this morning, but that . 1 ' waited, of course, for the opinion of a friend in whose judgment.

Colonel William Napier has to acknowledge the receipt of a letter this moment delivered to him by Mr. Borthwick's servant, although dated 11th January. Colonel Napier sees no reason to deviate from his resolution, already expressed, to hold no communi cation as between gentlemen with Mr. P. Borthwick, until the latter has cleared his character from the infamous stains cast upon it by the Berth Guardian newspaper. 10 o'clock, A.M. Freshfurd, Jan. 12, 1536. k Claverton, Tuesday, Jan. 12, 1836, 10 o'clock, P.M. St a,—ln reply to your note, which 1 have this day received, I beg to state, that I sent my former letter, as I shall transmit. this—by the hands of my servant, because I would not place a friend as the bearck of a message from rue to you in the position in which, should you adhere to your previously expressed determination, he might feel himself disposed to act. I cannot persuade myself that there exists, bearing the rank of a gentleman, that man who can gratuitously insult another, having previously determined that he will afford him satisfaction ; and if there could be such, I cannot believe that he would attempt to shelter himself under a pretext so pitiful as that with which a malignant attack in the pages of a newspaper would furnish him. In the belief that every man of honour will agree with me, I assert that the Bath Guardian, to which you have referred, has advanced nothing in reference to me which, if proved to the letter, would disqualify me from meeting any gentleman on equal terms ; and that, were it otherwise, until the decision of the case now pending, the accusation and the defence must be admitted to be at least of equal credit. The existence, therefore, of such an attack does no t afford that safety to the insulter which I affirm no man of honour could stoop to seek from it. I have felt it right to address to you these observations before taking the only step which your persisting in your present course A ;illleave nu:, trusting t',.at you will see the unjust and unwarrant ablev.,..eharacter of the position which you have taken, and that you will :Thee appoint a friend to meet mine.
